Blue Devils senior linebacker Max Barreau dropped St. Croix Central’s Collin Nelson for an 8-yard loss on fourth down to complete a 17-10 victory in the WIAA Division 4 state championship game at Camp Randall Stadium. The play capped the first overtime state final since 2012 and gave Lodi (14-0) its first state title.

The Blue Devils trailed, 10-7, heading into the fourth quarter but tied the contest on a 30-yard field goal by senior Savannah Curtis with 8 minutes 23 seconds left.

In overtime, Lodi took possession first and needed seven plays to cover the 25 yards. Ben Rashid scored from 1 yard out on first and goal. The defense did the rest but not before St. Croix Central (12-2) picked up a personal foul penalty for running into Curtis on the extra point that forced it to start the next possession from the 40-yard-line.

The Panthers picked up one first down, but two false-start penalties and that final sack spoiled their chance for a comeback.

Senior Jacob Heyroth finished with 151 yards and a touchdown in 35 carries for Lodi.
